Course overview

This LLM Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution Full-time course is the perfect option for law graduates seeking to advance their knowledge of mediation and alternative dispute resolution in a way that’s flexible and practical. It’s equally suitable for those aspiring to careers in the field as well as those simply wanting to gain more knowledge of this increasingly important legal area.

The award-linked module contained in this programme is Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution, and it centres around a practical study of this area, involving simulated mediation and negotiations scenarios to help students build on a range of vital practical skills. There is also an additional award-linked module (Civil and Criminal Litigation), perfect for those who are completely new to civil and criminal litigation. The latter module seeks to provide students with a multi-layered understanding of the litigation landscape in England and Wales.

The highly flexible structure of this programme enables students to fashion their degree according to their career goals, whatever those goals may be.

For both blended (face to face) and online study modes, attendance at one of our UK campuses (or an approved overseas centre by prior arrangement) is required for examinations. The default campus location for online study is London.

The dissertation module will be assessed by the submission of a thesis (15,000 words). The dissertation provides an opportunity for a sustained, in-depth and intensive investigation into, and reflection upon, a specialist area of Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Delivery

The course is delivered through full-time attendance at our Birmingham, London Bloomsbury or Leeds campus over one year, divided into three terms. There is an induction at the beginning of the course which will be held at the Birmingham, London Bloomsbury or Leeds campus.

Each taught module is delivered over ten teaching weeks, with two-hour workshops each week. All preparatory material, including any lecture content, is provided on the VLE, as is all consolidation material.

The dissertation is undertaken in Term 3. All taught modules must have been completed before students begin their dissertation.
